Volume IV Reign of Chaos 262 Storm Strike
My perception of shamans was originally a clergy akin to a priest or monk, but in what I consider to be a barbaric and backward primitive ethnic group of tribes, they should be regarded as relatively literate and knowledgeable beings, and should be regarded as the most intelligent, if not to mention, the most enlightened of the tribe.
They are the link between heaven and earth and all things between heaven and earth, and they are the other brains of the tribal chiefs, and they can be regarded as staff officers and the like. They help the chiefs of the tribe to make plans, give advice, and even use divination to help the chiefs make up their minds when they are not sure.
They predict good fortune and evil, and they will also help their people to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits.
They were all magicians, but there weren't many young shamans who could have his strength.
I've discussed this with Sarufar and some of the trolls, and Thrall's strength is indeed a genius, and this guy has far more spells than the average shaman.
Most of the shamans in the clan are actually priests, priests are priests, and most people's combat skills are not good at all, and there are not so many combat types of shamans.
This thing depends on talent, of course, if you insist on learning, it doesn't mean that you can't learn anything, you can naturally learn something, such as some simple spells, it's still completely okay to make a fire or the like, but for example, summoning lightning, lightning strikes, hurricanes and even summoning the power of the earth are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do.
Especially to be able to communicate to that ...... The god called the spirit of the earth is even more legendary.
But Sal is a guy who can communicate with the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth flexibly and handily.
I don't know anything else at first, but the power he had when he led his people out of Dunhold Castle was terrifying, and you may not have seen what it was like to be destroyed in the end, the outer walls of such a high wall were directly cracked and collapsed, and some of the houses in the castle also collapsed in the shaking of the earth he summoned.
If nothing else, there are very few people who can master this skill. But in that battle...... Three or two shamans who knew this skill made those few lichs almost unable to exert their strength.
In addition to this, Thrall's skills include the use of wind.
That time directly subverted my perception of him and the shaman's profession. After I fended off his first three attacks, I felt like I knew his strength, the power I could withstand, the speed I could handle, and even I had some reservations for him. Basically, after those three moves, I don't think it would be a problem for me to kill him.
But I never expected it!
Just as I was about to get up close and fight him......
yes, fitting!
He's wearing plate armor! My Lord Regent! Plate Armor! Especially in the upper body, part of his leg armor is plate armor, but there are still exposed places. I mean, he's bigger than me, but I feel like I'm faster than him, and I can bleed him slowly once I get close.
But I just wanted to be beautiful, and just as I was about to bow from the left side of my body to the side of his right flank, but I was just about to bend over and before I could bend over, suddenly I felt a light in front of my eyes, and an orange light flashed in front of my eyes.
He reached out and pushed my palm to the right side of my chest.
He pushed me with his right hand, and my eyes flashed, and then I heard a "bang" in my ears, and the sound was not only heard by my ears, but also felt like it penetrated my body, from my body to my ears.
And luckily, it was pushed into my right chest, and I just felt pushed by a huge force, and then there was a painful feeling, and at that time, I didn't feel tightness in my chest or I wanted to cough. I stumbled backwards, and I couldn't stand at all, and I sat down on the floor.
It was only after the war that I realized that my clothes had been burned through where I had been slapped. But there was no fire on my body at that time, but my clothes were burned through somewhere, and I was wearing leather armor on my upper body, and half of my body was covered with chain mail and chest guards, and the leather armor was burned. You can imagine how powerful that moment was.
If I hadn't been sensitive to pain at that time, I wouldn't have been able to get up. If it hits a person without armor defense, the consequences are unimaginable.
And that's not all, as soon as I sat on the ground, he grabbed the handle of the hammer with both hands and smashed it into my chest.
Do you know how thrilling that is? At that time, the hammer was not smashed into my face, but in my chest! Chest!
It was dangerous enough, but it felt like all my luck had been used up throughout the fight. When the hammer came down, it felt like the hammer was suddenly accelerated, and I couldn't even see the afterimage of his hand and the hammer.
If it weren't for my combat experience...... Hum! Then I will surely die.
At that time, when he resisted, he was not a brain at all, it was completely subconscious, and when he blocked, he did not parry, but swung the hammer in his right hand and smashed it hard.
Ha! I couldn't resist it at the time! Parry and die.
When the hammer fell, the speed was so fast that it couldn't be seen clearly, and it was still parryed? I'm lucky to be able to smash his hammer faster than he does.
Don't believe it, after the battle on the battlefield, my warhammer was abandoned by me, because there was a hammer blade on it that was smashed crooked, you know! And there was a noticeable deformation.
I guess that's the cause.
Blocking that gave me a very short but enough time to escape, because after the first blow was missed, his windy hand and hammer needed to be picked up a second time, and although it was extremely fast, I had already rolled over to the left when I swung the hammer. As soon as I turned over, I felt another muffled sound on the ground.
Ha! At that time, I didn't react at all in my head, knowing that it was hammered to the ground, but I just rolled over and got up with a thought. As I dodged with a bone, a third hammer grazed my shoulder and hit the ground.
I don't know how big the hole was in the ground, but listening to the voice, I think the force of that was definitely not small.
At that time, I didn't know what was going on with him, I thought it was terrible, it was a miracle that he could smash three hammers in less than two seconds in this moment, or with such a great strength.
I was really lucky not to be stoned to death by him, and when he was about to pick up the hammer and give it to me again, I could clearly feel his slowing down, it was so obvious. So I avoided it relatively easily.
Tut...... Thinking about it now, I still have palpitations.
If those three hammers hit, if it were a person...... It is certain that the sternum will be smashed directly, and the lungs inside will be the same as the heart.
Not to mention what other spells Thrall can have, I think this skill alone has surpassed the vast majority of warriors and ...... Paladin.
Of course, I haven't seen Thrall fight human paladins, so I don't know if he's better or if those paladins are more resistant. Although these guys have several ways to keep fighting without losing their lives, in fact, the battle damage and death rate of paladins on the battlefield has always been high. It can't be helped, the teachings of the paladins are devotion, fearlessness and sacrifice.
But at that time, we didn't have paladins in the team, and yes, it didn't count when we were alive. Can you still feel the power of the Light now?
Isn't it going to work? Ha!
Perhaps the Light doesn't like regenerate.
I was a little entangled in Thrall's attack after I dodged it, and I didn't know for a moment whether to continue hand-to-hand combat with him or give up the fight and turn my head away. If I were a magician, I wouldn't have done it, but luckily I wasn't. Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the musket in my arms.
Without any hesitation, I immediately retreated, and Sal did not hesitate to lunge at me when he saw me retreating. I may be the only one who survived the three hammers from under his hands, but the light in this guy's eyes seems to be ...... Confidence.
I don't know if he'll give me another punch next time when he sticks it up, but I'm ready for how to dodge his attacks right now.
I was lying on the ground and he didn't hit me, but now that I'm standing up, it's even less likely that he'll hit me.
But I was wrong!
He lunged forward, I ducked to the side, and in a flash I was about to go up to his knee, and I was pretty sure of one thing, just hit his knee, and the next thing was for me to slowly pinch him.
But he really didn't give me a chance, and just as I was about to repeat the old trick on one side, his sledgehammer slammed down on me again.
I just thought that this hammer and triple can't be used continuously, after all, even if this thing is blessed by magic, it consumes a lot of physical energy, but I didn't think that he immediately smashed it down on me again.
I still didn't see it this time!
Really, I still saw a flash in front of my eyes, and I was still mentally prepared, but the sharp force that tore the air when the hammer came down made me feel shocked, and I dodged the first hammer, but the second hammer did not.
How do you think the hammer fell?
I'm the same as you think, it's all one direction, one angle, one position. That's what I suffered, and my forearm just didn't dodge it at that time.
Arm.
At that time, it was broken, and the two bones of the forearm, the ulna and the radius were all broken.
And not only did my arm break, but the arm guard was directly wasted for me.
The landing point of his hammer can not only be different, but also the angle can be tricky.
The third hammer swept diagonally towards my side instead of up and down. Thankfully, I was crooked and didn't get swept away by him. And at that time, I knew that something bad was wrong when I was crooked on the ground, and it was all too clear that my arm was broken.
And when I fell, I resolutely abandoned all my weapons and touched my left hand directly to my chest.
Yes!
It's definitely an all-or-nothing bet.
That's right, I beat him with a gun.
It's really good, I can't remember how many times it saved my life in the most dangerous times, I had two muskets in the Stormwind Kingdom, which I bought from goblins, and lost them after being captured in prison.
Yes, that time.
After that, I never got a weapon as good as those two muskets.
After receiving this musket from the dwarf at the time of Dalaran, I was in possession of the treasure. Normally, I wouldn't take it out, but this time it worked well when my life was at stake.
There was no need to aim at such a distance, and with a "bang", as a puff of white smoke rose into the air, Sal's movements stopped at once.
Actually, I don't know where the shot hit him, but I could tell from his face that it made him very uncomfortable.
I haven't been shot so I don't know what it's like to get a bullet into my body, and I certainly haven't asked anyone who has been shot what it's like, and I haven't seen anyone around me who has been shot alive.
After my shot, I saw that he was covering his right chest, and I couldn't tell if it hit his lung or something because I was wearing armor, but I was definitely not a liver.
He never lifted the hammer again. I watched him take a few steps backwards and tuck the musket into his arms, and I tried to help with my right hand, only to find that my right arm had been pulled down in an exaggerated way.
It took me two blows before I put the gun in the pouch, and as I struggled to get up, an orc next to me lunged at me and knocked me to the ground.
At that time, I still had the strength to fight back, but ...... The incongruity caused by the loss of a dominant hand in this moment really affected my resistance.
The guy threw himself at my head and threw it wildly, and I raised my broken right arm to fend it, but I couldn't do it.
This is not something that the average person can do.
The pain caused by a broken arm and leg is unbearable for most people, and I just didn't feel the pain at that time, but this broken arm is really useless. I could only try to use my left hand to block the punch he threw at my face and try to get up.
The guy thought he could strangle me, he opened my hand with his right hand and managed to choke me with both hands, uh...... If he had been resurrected, he would have understood why he had died.
He grabbed me by the neck, and I reached out with my left hand and grabbed his throat as well, and he didn't break my neck, but I choked his throat.
When I stood up again, Thrall was out of sight, and as soon as he retreated, the Horde retreated.
It's a given.
That's how we won that battle.
Isn't it vigorous at all?
After the tribe retreated, the elven army also quickly withdrew, and Sarufar said that they quarreled about this matter after that, until the news of Thrall's injury was learned by the elves and sent druids and others to treat them, the two sides stopped arguing, reached an understanding, and said that they would cooperate more closely in the future.
I guess everyone can imagine that this relationship between them is actually extremely fragile. This is why the two sides met again shortly after the war.
